Advani was to file his nomination on Monday afternoon. But he had to defer it as the BJP was celebrating its foundation day on Monday.

The BJP leader had a very busy schedule in New Delhi that forced him to postpone filing his nomination papers, the official said.

Advani is expected to inaugurate the BJP's state-of-art Gandhinagar office when he arrives in Gandhinagar on Wednesday, he said.

The former deputy prime minister is seeking re-election from the Gandhinagar seat for the fifth consecutive time.
